Have to say me and my TJ are getting to be friends. Been a long time since I just jumped into a 4 wheeled something and took a drive for the joy of the drive.
I was out piddling with it. I have been doing the additive thing. Started by putting Marvel Mystery in the first oil change. Ran than about 500 miles and changed the oil and filter again. Then I stared using Lucas fuel additive and did about four tanks of that through it. I have now ran two tanks with Marvel in the gas. Just finished running a can of Sea Foam down the carb slow and easy, adding a little at a time to get that white smoke out the tail pipe.
Someone has to buy all those miracles in a bottle at the auto parts store. I am that guy.
I have made a practice of taking it to about 4,200 rpm a couple of times a week to blow it out.
Anyway, mine 4.0 has 154k on it.
Assuming reasonable care, how far do you think these things can go until it has to be rebuilt?
